Hey Benni,

you're busy as a bee :-)
It looks fantastic. I really like the method setContentType so no manual 
header is needed, makes it very easy to use.
Also using the constants in Flag manner is a good solution - it's readable 
and easy to extend.

many thanks for this great solution!
I would like to see that in core, so we can use it, test it and get 
expierience with it, alos coming up improvements should all use the 
interface to get a consistent solution.
